She revealed that there was a slew of mishaps before the group discovered that the “quaint villa” they had booked in Positano was a scam.
In her first clip, which has been viewed more than 4.7 million times, Alix candidly revealed the predicament the group was in as they wheeled their bags out of the airport.
She revealed: “We are stranded in Italy. The house where we would stay does not exist. Our car service has been cancelled. It’s midnight.
“We literally don’t know where to go. 11 girls stranded in Positano. The girls’ trip took a turn for the worse.”
The social media star, who has more than 5.3 million followers on TikTok, has since elaborated on the situation.
She said, “This is how we got stranded in Italy on our girls trip.
‘We left our AirBnB in Ibiza. We had to throw our suitcases down the stairs – they were so heavy.
“We have our hot, sexy drivers. We had time to kill before the airport, so we went for lunch…
‘So now we’re going to the airport to go to our villa in Positano. It was like 800 degrees. We were in the last row of the flight.’
Alix, who did not specify how much the group paid for the villa, has yet to reveal how the problem was resolved, but has still found time to share a slew of snaps from the sun-soaked destination.

Alix continued, “We landed in Naples and realized our house was a scam.
“It literally didn’t exist and our car service canceled on us. Our dumb asses walked out of the airport without our luggage.
“Security was like ‘you literally can’t get back in.’ We somehow packed our bags, we got into a random taxi, we booked a random hotel room for the night.
‘The view was beautiful though. At two in the morning we have no place to stay for the rest of the trip, so we were a little stressed.”
